How come a pry bar can’t be used for prying, and a crowbar can’t be used for crowing?

Hey cool it's the Draw Steel movie

Yes, this is one of the best tabletop-rpg-party movies ever made. Like The Mummy or The Princess Bride.

Edit: or Treasure Planet

Never played DnD (nor do I ever care to; I'm not autistic enough for it), but I'm curious: what do you mean by "tabletop movie"?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Ah, most tabletop roleplaying games, like DnD, tend to have a sort of chaotic "we didn't think this through properly" seat-of-your-pants energy where the group bumbles from situation to situation and somehow still manages to succeed. There's also a strong tendency of there being wildly different characters who somehow still work really well together.

Those are great! I feel like the recent DnD movie was also very well done in that sense.

Ah, have we gotten to the reddit 'reference another popular post I just read' level now? Sweet.

English teachers telling students about suffixes and prefixes. meanwhile, there's another.

Technically, this is just a second prefix.

I feel like in D&D, it makes less sense to just assume a horse can't understand you. It might be a Paladin's Steed. They can't talk, but can understand speech, and if you roll for stats they can be smarter than you.

It might be a druid who is just having fun fucking with you.

[–] Archpawn@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

It also might be an Awakened horse.

Clearly true for Altivo here.

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 16 points 2 days ago

If I had the golden shoed horse and the bouncing armadillo, I could rule the world.

I loved this movie as a kid. It still weirds me out seeing the (probably true) ways of looking at chel now that I'm an adult on the internet.

I love this movie and the songs are song by a Danish legend in the Danish version. Still watch this movie, just with my kids now 😁

Reminds me of when during a DnD session my monk attempts a.....I don't even know what check I used, I don't think 5e has handle animal; my monk does a check against a dire wolf (it had normal wolves with it as well) while we were up against a cliff, rolling to throw a stick off the edge pretending to play fetch with it; I roll a 20 and the DM has the dire wolf jump off the cliff
